Surge and Lightning Protection

A surge is a transient electrical fluctuation that happens in a fraction of a second and can cause serious damage to electronic and electro mechanical equipment.

They can be caused by lightning strikes and local power utility company "spikes" which can enter your business or home through the electrical system ie. cable television, telephone wiring etc and attack any electrical equipment attached to them.

Softwired Surge Filters

Many people believe the most important issue is power loss or blackouts, yet the truth is that the majority of power faults are caused by power surges or noise transients.

NPS provide a range of surge filters and power boards for all applications with load ratings of 6,500 amp (typically used to protect a notebooks or work stations) all the way up to 66,000 amp (typically used to protect a series of ups or high end electrical equipment.
